Chapter 1141: Dunking the Backboard

Artest's face twitched and he dodged to the side in an instant.

At this moment, Guoguo on the sidelines opened his mouth wide and his two little arms instinctively opened to both sides.

"Bang!"

Amid the strong sound of hitting the basket, the entire basket sank suddenly, the entire piece of glass instantly broke into countless small pieces.

"Fly! Daddy is flying!"

Guoguo reacted quickly, and the moment Li Ba hit the basket, he suddenly jumped up happily with his little wings spread.

"Oh!"

Then, the whole audience exclaimed, and countless people stood up.

"Fuck! The hammer hit so hard!"

Amid the exclamation of the whole audience, Yu Jia stood up at the same time, and burst into swearing again in excitement.

"Crack, crack..." Behind the baseline, the media cameras flashed wildly.

"Boss, you are too strong. After changing, you can smash it again."

Tony Allen ran over and shouted, and just as he finished speaking, he slipped on a few pieces of debris and instantly did a split.

"Ah!"

Tony Allen covered his crotch and screamed.

"There are so many debris on the floor, why are you running? Brainless and unlucky kid!" Li Ba complained, speechless.

"Hahaha..." The whole audience burst into laughter.

"Too funny, haha..."

Barkley laughed and fell down in the live broadcast booth, unable to comment.

Kenny Smith also burst into laughter, and explained intermittently: "Maybe, haha, maybe, Tony Allen will be injured? His balls should be okay, right? Haha..."

"No, I can't play anymore, wow, it hurts so much, my thigh muscle is torn, I need a stretcher!" Tony Allen sat on the floor and cried.

The rebound was replaced, the game entered a timeout, and the court was taken over by the cheerleaders.

Payton rearranged the lineup and replaced Rondo, who replaced Tony Allen and continued to double-team Kobe.

For the Lakers, Artest left the court and Duncan returned to the court.

Artest couldn't defend the inside line at all, the height was too low, so he could only let Duncan, who had committed two fouls, go back.

Half an hour later, the rebound was finally replaced.

The game resumed, the Lakers attacked, the score was 10:7, the Suns led.

Odom served the ball from the baseline, Parker received the ball, and Li Ba still defended and retreated.

At this time, Parker returned the ball to Odom who had just entered the court, and he used his faster absolute speed to bypass Li Ba and rushed to the front court.

Li Ba did not chase Parker. He could defend Parker with the ball, but he could not defend Parker without the ball, so when Parker passed the ball, he immediately rushed to Odom who was three steps away.

Odom received the ball and saw Li Ba rushing over. He immediately wanted to pass it back to Parker, but when he saw the fierce Li Ba was about to rush in front of him, he retracted the passing action.

He wanted to advance with the ball, but found that it was impossible. After a few attempts, he was still defended by Li Ba.

He is not as good as Parker. Parker is smaller, faster and more flexible than Li Ba. He can push forward under Li Ba's defense by rushing left and right. But he is taller than Li Ba, not as flexible as Li Ba, and not as fast as Li Ba. With Li Ba's strong defense, how can he break through Li Ba with the ball?

Eight seconds are almost up, Parker has to go back to the court to receive the ball.

So Odom hurriedly passed the ball with one hand, but Li Ba took a step forward to steal the ball, then rushed to the basket, dunked with one arm, and scored another goal.

12:7, the Suns led by 5 points.

Barkley saw this and said, "It should be considered Parker's mistake just now. He should have stayed behind and waited for the return pass after passing the ball, instead of running to the front."

Kenny Smith said, "When the Suns double-teamed Kobe, the Lakers still had one more player after serving the ball. In this way, it was still intercepted in the backcourt. It not only shows the strength of the Hammer's defense, but also shows that when the Lakers players face the Hammer, their thinking and actions will be seriously affected. This is the deterrent formed by the Hammer's defense."

Barkley nodded and said, "For example, Odom clearly wanted to pass the ball back to Parker just now, but when he saw the Hammer coming, he didn't dare to pass it. This is because he was afraid of being intercepted."

The Lakers attacked again.

This time Parker learned his lesson. When facing Li Ba's defense, he first passed the ball back to Odom, and then he bypassed Li Ba to the side. At this time, Odom immediately passed the ball back, and he then held the ball and quickly moved forward.

Li Ba quickly turned and crossed the center line. At this time, Parker also crossed the center line from the left wing. The former forced past, and the latter did not slow down and directly entered the three-point line with the ball.

Li Ba knew that it was necessary to defend against such a small point guard actively. He couldn't run after the opponent, otherwise Parker might shake him down with a change of speed or direction.

So he let Parker pass directly, and then chased behind Parker on the right side. He knew that Parker didn't dare to shoot easily.

Sure enough, there was a most terrifying defender behind him, and Parker was like a thorn in his back.

He didn't dare to do the emergency stop and throw that he was good at. Li Ba was half a step behind him. He made an emergency stop, just in time for Li Ba to catch up and block him.

Duncan was also embarrassed because Li Ba was on the right side of Parker. He was in the low post and couldn't do offensive screen. He could only watch Parker run into the paint with the ball.

Gasol pulled to the right wing, but was stared at by the defense of Alian, and couldn't catch the ball smoothly.

Parker passed the basket and didn't dare to shoot, so he had to pass through the paint and pulled to the right wing.

At this time, Kobe rushed in to respond, but when he came, Ginobili and Rondo also rushed over.

When Parker saw this, he didn't even think about passing the ball. He quickly took a detour, otherwise he would definitely be double-teamed by Ginobili and Rondo, plus Li Ba behind him. Three-team and one-team, he was doomed.

At this time, he approached the baseline, trying to bypass Kobe and the other three, pull out, and reorganize the attack.

But at this time, Li Ba suddenly caught up and pushed Parker to the baseline with his body.

Parker turned around, but still couldn't escape Li Ba's pressure. He made a dribbling error and was kicked out of the baseline by himself.

"A successful defense!" Barkley laughed.

"This kind of defensive tactic that allows teammates to double-team Kobe throughout the court, and restricts Parker to limit the Lakers' offense, can only be played by a hammer. But he succeeded."

Kenny Smith laughed helplessly.

"Of course, the point guard is the engine of the offense. As long as he controls Parker and makes it impossible for him to organize the offense smoothly, or even to advance smoothly, and pass the ball smoothly, he can solve the weakness of one less person on his side."

Barkley laughed.

The Suns played a fast break, Ginobili advanced to the basket, passed the ball back to Rondo, avoided being chased by Kobe, and then Rondo made a layup.

Looking back, Kobe ran frantically, and finally got rid of the two followers through continuous counter-running, and stretched out his hand to Parker: "Give me the ball."

Parker saw that Kobe had the opportunity to catch the ball and hurriedly passed the ball.

But at this moment, Li Ba, who was one step ahead of Parker, suddenly cut in and stole the ball.

"One of the point guard rules is not to pass the ball around the Hammer. Apparently Parker forgot this." Barkley shouted.

"Facing the Hammer's defense, he can no longer play normally." Kenny Smith said.

After the first quarter, 27:17, the Suns led by 10 points.
